Port Charlotte
Created with a slip-stitch pattern (which only ever uses one shade per row), colourful raised motifs adorn the yoke of this simple and striking sweater.

Pattern Notes
This garment is knitted in the round from the bottom up. The body and sleeves are worked separately, before being joined together at the yoke, which is shaped with raglan decreases before the colourful slipped stitch pattern completes the sweater. Decreases are worked in between pattern rounds, to complete the yoke shaping.
